The European Space Agency (ESA) selected Spain-based multinational aerospace company GMV as a supplier of an RF constellation simulator for Galileo second-generation satellites, which have just entered production. The main objectives of Galileo Second Generation (G2G) are the phasing in of new services, improvement of existing services and increase of security. Work on the simulator will be performed at the company’s facility in Portugal.
GMV will lead a consortium that will supply a simulator covering both the 1st and 2nd Galileo generations, to support G2G engineering and experimentation activities in the Open Service and the Public Regulated Service domain.

The European Space Agency has selected GMV to supply the radio-frequency constellation simulator (RFCS) for the Galileo second generation (G2G) program.
According to GMV, this is the multinational’s largest contract in Portugal.
From Portugal, GMV will lead a consortium to supply an RFCS covering both the first and second Galileo generations. The Galileo first generation (G1G), running since December 2016, consists of space infrastructure (26 satellites to date) and ground infrastructure.
Under the G2G RFCS contract, GMV teams in Portugal and Spain partnering with Orolia and Tecobit will develop an RFCS covering both Galileo generations as well as Galileo Open Service and Public Regulated Service (PRS). The RFCS will simulate the progressive deployment of the G2G with its new signals and will be key to supporting development of G2G infrastructure and testing of experimental user receivers.

Development of military Galileo user equipment (MGUE, a new variant) got underway on February 8 with the kick-0ff meeting in Brussels of the Galileo for EU Defence (GEODE) project. Managed by the Belgian, French, German, Italian and Spanish Ministries of Defence and involving 30 companies from 14 EU member states, GEODE will establish the framework for developing the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) user segment for defence applications.
Galileo’s PRS is an encrypted navigation service for government-authorized users and sensitive applications that require high continuity. The PRS signal is more resistant to spoofing and jamming, ensuring service continuity and making it easier to identify potential jammers. It is intended for use by the military, police, fire departments, ambulances and search & rescue, border control and other government and government-authorized users.
